Receiving the results of the follow-up inspection

During the follow-up inspection, only the issues for which the new inspection was required will be rechecked.

If the faults have been corrected, the follow-up inspection is passed and a sticker showing the next technical inspection due date will be affixed to the back of the registration certificate.

If faults are still noted with the issues serviced, a new follow-up inspection must be carried out within 15 days.

In the event of persistent faults at the end of this inspection, the vehicle will be deregistered from the number plate database in the Principality of Monaco.

This means that the car may no longer be driven and that the registration certificate and licence plates must be returned to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Office.
